What Do We See When We Look at the Sky?

Long, languid, charming, observant, funny and ultimately rather profound. A hymn to looking at the world around us, at its quirks and beauty, but with a hint of threat hovering in the background. There's also a brilliant game of football in the middle and a marvellous soundtrack. Just give it time and immerse yourself in Georgian life.

A modern day fairy tale, with extraordinary good images, that lead us to dream.

Spellbinding and magical! film is kind of a love letter to the city of Kutaisi, a beautiful town I never knew existed. Film is about slowing down, take a moment and observe beautiful things around you. Camera is static throughout the film it pans to capture the characters walking that's it. Not to forget there's great background score to compliment the visual treat of the Faraz Fesharaki's cinematography.

The greatest 2.5 hours ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An extreme chore to get through, to be honest. I wish I had more focus on this but I feel its meandering, lazy nature puts you to sleep more than enchants you. That being said, seeing this city in its full authenticity is a fun treat for a while, with so many candid shots rarely seen in film.

This film wasted so many frames that the discarded ones could have made a second slow movie.... Just waiting for our heroine to be ushered into her coffee and cards spell-undoing workshop took ten minutes of waiting-in-hallway shots. Yes, we watched a father waiting for his presumed daughter to finish her music lesson, and we watched receptionists walking back and forth trying to find people, but was ALL that really really really necessary to convey to us that our heroine was feeling impatient? Or that life unfolds slowly? Or that as we sit in our anxieties, people around us are just going about their business? The film is filled with these static long shots. ... And the dogs wanting to watch football was cute, but other than hitting us over the head with the fairy tale nature of the story, what did it do for us? Frankly, I couldn't stand it anymore; there are SO many other things to watch and learn. If I want to be awed by landscapes and the beautiful everyday/ mundane in life, then I walk outside; I don't have to sit in a movie theater for $16 to have it hammered into me. ... EG. If a camera were watching me type this, I wouldn't want to watch the footage of it. ... Of course, this is why people reviewing the same toaster on Amazon give it both excellent and awful reviews; to each our own. But i myself would recommend 18 other slow films over this one, folks.

This film wears out its welcome by taking a fairy-tale conceit, and extending it into a form that it simply cannot support. The movie drags and drags and you don't really care for any of the characters. I could not make it through and turned it off.

It's hard to talk about this film because I watched it in a 4 day range. To be honest, I'm not sure what the title means for the film. I also want to emphasize that I hardly followed the thread of the main love story. It seemed like we were gossipers and saw everything from afar. Nevertheless, the editing and the cinematography is quiet decent to the point of transporting us to an almost alternative reality, because it shows us quite daily activities, but that take place on the other side of the world and makes it even more interesting to appreciate. This was what I liked the most about the film, the world that surrounds the main characters.

The most beautiful movie seen lately, in the primary sense of the word "beautiful".
